To use this rug, simply place it in your desired living space to add a touch of coziness and sustainability. Since it's not machine washable, it's best to spot - clean it with a mild detergent and a soft cloth when there are stains. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the hemp fibers. When moving the rug, be careful as it doesn't have non - slip features, so it might slide. Remember that the sizes can vary a bit, so don't be alarmed if it's slightly different from what you expected.
